Yacht Cap
Where south are you Capt. John?
My initial plan was in 2010 purchase my boat in Texas, Oregon or Florida and from there start my sailing life.
I have since been half pursuaded to buy here in Canada, move onto the boat for the winter; (ergo apartment rent goes into boat) and head off from here.
I remain half convinced; to date I have not seen a boat in my price range that spins my beanie nor hooked up with a solid sailing mentor.
I have limited experience; did a crossing from Tortola to Miami caught some heavy seas in a “stink pot” 67 foot motor yacht.
With 4 seasons in the Caribbean; boaties just up the way these have my thoughts and heart driven to the wind.
Until I have found my boat I will continue to keep all options open, save my dollars, study my manuals, read books (thanks for “the Dove” tip I have it on order at the library) and hopefully keep in touch with real sailors such as yourself. Fare ye well Cap’n.
My home Port is Galveston, Texas…
However, I am retired now… when I was working, my career had me living in NYC, for 5 years, Boston, MA, for 5 years, and in Buffalo, NY for 14. (Luckily for me, I have always been real close to great boating in every place I have lived. (I was born and raised in Texas.)
Well… if it were me, I would try and find a boat “up there”… not exactly sure about Canada, but based on my experience, there are some of the best deals on the best boats in the Buffalo, NY area… they have lots of heavy duty boats (because of Lake Erie and Ontario) and these boats have never seen salt water – so for their age, etc. they are mostly in very good shape as opposed to what you will find down here, or in Oregon, California or Florida…
So, I think it would be cool to find a really good nice boat up there, and bring it down the Illinois, Ohio, Mississippi, etc. (That in itself would be a great experience and a real treat for you.) Are you sailing alone? Or do you have a “first mate” that will be sailing with you?
My oldest son and his girl spend a lot of time Island hopping around in the Caribbean…
Have you considered a catamaran? I would if I were you – especially if you are going to live on it.
Just food for thought…
Later…
